The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Aug. 21, edition that Vice-President JD Vance discussed the trade deal with Canada at a fundraising event, claiming Prime Minister Mark Carney tried to "out-tough" United States President Donald Trump. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that in audio from the fundraiser in Southampton, N.Y., Mr. Vance said Mr. Carney is a "very sweet guy" and he gets along with him quite well. But, Mr. Vance said, Mr. Carney "comes in and puffs his chest out and says, 'I'm going to, like, out-tough Donald Trump.'" Mr. Vance told the room, "It's hilarious because Carney presents this as some victory for Canada when fundamentally, like, they climb down on a lot of issues." As a new round of punishing new tariffs on Canada looms, a Leger poll suggests more than half of Canadians want the federal government to take a hard line and make no more concessions with the U.S. Mr. Vance added there is "this guy Pierre Poilievre or something" who is the leader of the Conservatives in Canada, adding he is a "non-entity" in negotiations. It's unclear what else Canada agreed to. Mr. Trump claimed the agreement would drop tariffs on American farmers to zero.
